For the love god, keep all these G summits at the same venue every year, or lease the UN building.
What is wrong with these politicians? We are spending more on this summits security (which is only 3 days) than we spent hosting the Winter Olympics in Vancouver.

We are spending more on this summits security (which is only 3 days) than we spent hosting the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. It's all a matter of what you count. I imagine that this $1B includes a lot of capital costs for equipment which will continue to be used for decades.
- faramarz 16y agoActually most of is to get legs on ground in fear of anarchist protests. The Olympics was an investment, not this. Now looks like the auditor general is getting involved to find what caused the spike in the security budget. again, more cost. very frustrating! but the idea of hosting these large events at a permanent location seems pretty economical to me. :S
